What is Tattoo Goo?

Neosporin is the best. Apply a good amount over your tattoo and loosely bandage it with gause. Keep your new tattoo out of direct sunlight as this can lead to quicker fading.
I had one and used neosporin for 1 week straight. It healed nicely and now 12 years later, other than some fading, it still looks great :)

Neosporin is best. Keep it clean and covered with bandage and neosporin the first 2-3 days (your artist should have told you that and/or provided a cream for the tatt). From what I know of tattoo goo is either the gel you use on it or the junk that can form on it from lack of care.

When I got my tattoos, the guy who did them actually gave me cream from his own shop. It was called "Goo". Technical term, I know...But it's a special cream to keep the tattoo from drying out. I think it might be safe to put neosporin on it, but I would call the tattoo artist first, just to be safe! Oh...And I've always been told not to cover it...but again, ask the artist!

Tattoo Goo is the best, with the other things everyone has suggested their is a chance of fading the ink. tattoo goo is a compound that was made just for tattoos it will not fade or harm your new ink in any way here is the link for tattoo goo

My tattoo artist recommends Preparation H. Helps with swelling.

I always use Neosporin or just a light cocoa butter lotion to prevent it from itching and scaring.

Bacitracin ointment, and covered with gauze so it won't scab over.
